what are the chances that HTC will just sue him for copying their widgets?
[Desire Themes and Apps] TheDeadCPU:
Very high. But we will see.. But I don't think it's the actual Sense widgets..
[Desire Themes and Apps] mrwookie6379:
When you install launcher pro plus you can see they are not the actual sense widgets. As for HTC getting nasty nothing ever happened to Weather Widgets or Fancy Widget how copy the HTC clock flawlessly!
[Desire Themes and Apps] kmetek:
i have paypal and maybe i'll buy this one.
[Desire Themes and Apps] nemolivier:
I paid for : even for launcher pro he deserve this money. The widget is too sense-style for me (black-glossy theme).
[Desire Themes and Apps] kmetek:
I just hope he won't loose interest in updating normal version.
[Desire Themes and Apps] DerZombie:
Normal and pro version completely the same. Only + for Pro is the widget.
[Desire Themes and Apps] stewcp:
I paid for it... as mentioned above, the dev deserves some £££ for his excellent launcher and having some extra widgets is just a bonus... personally I don't like the included contacts widget... the contact pictures looks awful!
[Desire Themes and Apps] wewen:
c'mon keep his beer fund going. love this launcher :D bought it myself
[Desire Themes and Apps] j.blaze:
Can someone please post some screenshots, so I can see how the widgets look? If they look nearly like the HTC's, I'll give it a try.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
screenshots on the site --> http://www.launcherpro.com/
[Desire Themes and Apps] dragonithe:
I don't use this contact widgets, but i did download it because he just deserves the $$$
[Desire Themes and Apps] j.blaze:
There is only the contact widget. I'd like to see the calendar and bookmark widget.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
there is only one widget so far according to the text ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] kinkade:
+1 for him deserving it, this is one of the best apps around and he is constantly improving it
[Desire Themes and Apps] Qliratu:
I hope it comes in the market the developer deserve's cash for his hard work.

i cant buy it i dont have paypal and i dont want it either.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mrwookie6379:
Dont think it will appear in marketplace as dev lives in country where you cant upload paid apps to marketplace.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Pyr0x64:
i really like the fact he uses paypal :)

paypal converts it into your local currency automatically, and saves me getting charged by my bank

i hate it when i use google checkout to pay for a lil app, then find the bank charges turn out to be more than the app was in the first place... :mad:
[Desire Themes and Apps] 123schiff:
Developer deserves the cash for his work, though I dont use the people widget i still bought it. Would be good if we can see a few toggle widgets especially the mobile data. I have yet to see one as good as the htc sense mobile data widget
[Desire Themes and Apps] Raul Duke:
I just grabbed a paid copy of this. Been using it for a while and love it so thought I would help support.

The people widget is one I really missed from sense so I'm glad it's been included.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Café King:
Agree! Just bought a copy too :)

/CK
[Desire Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
Gonna buy this myself, one of the best launchers about and I like the fact the People widget is in it now...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Powder79:
I totally agree just bought this app myself
[Desire Themes and Apps] UltraLinx:
You're better off buying it now too because as more widgets get added he's going to bump up the price.

I bought it just to repay him for his hard work, not bothered about the contacts widget but i do want widgets like friend stream.
[Desire Themes and Apps] twist1234:
Not trying to be a weirdo but why does LauncherPro require access to so many permissions eg. delete SD card contents, discover and view accounts, directly call phone numbers?

OP - Please dont take personally just never understood why certain apps need that much access. Keep up the great work.
[Desire Themes and Apps] enuazeal:
i would pay but there's no paypal in my country :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] mr.r9:
How long will it take ADW to have the same exact feature:p

Nah I kid. Fede, the Dev, deserves some cash for his great launcher.
[Desire Themes and Apps] andycted:
I think the SD card access is in order to backup settings (in preferences), directly call phone numbers might be the new widget ?

I certainly don't wish him that it happens, but I see a C & D coming his way for those widgets if he keeps the aspect so similar...
[Desire Themes and Apps] twist1234:
Permissions mentioned are from non plus version.
[Desire Themes and Apps] DerZombie:
I´d think he need it for the missed calls counter? And the Pro and normal version are the same. You can see in the normal version the widget too but you can´t paste it on the homescreen

SC card need for backup

Sry for bad english
[Desire Themes and Apps] nemo1872:
Bought it just to repay him for his hard work... nice work!!! really!!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] andycted:
uhm I think 'directly call numbers' because you can apply call shortcuts to the dock bar
[Desire Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
Purchased... definately worth the small fee for such excellent work. Now that these extra widgets are going to be included, this pretty much makes it the most complete launcher compared to others.
[Desire Themes and Apps] x01a4:
Yeah, I got a copy too.

Don't use the widgets, but I love donating for this project!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jamescousins:
This is my first app purchase :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bukem75:
I am happy to buy him some beer too. Loved it on my Droid... Trying pro plus out on my Evo. I like the 3D scroll for programs and you can have 7 home screens now... not that I have that much crap...
[Desire Themes and Apps] gobak:
Going to buy the stuff as well, it's a masterpiece. I am so glad it doesn't dell over the Market as we have got none in the Czech republic yet.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Trippy:
Bought!

I just completed the transaction. I am using sense but I love how launcher pro works. I've been rom-flash-happy for some time now and after using sense a lot going to a barren froyo rom was tough but launcher pro made it easier on the eyes and fingers. The dev really deserves it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] powlemann:
Finally! I was missing a Donate button this entire time. I haven't bought a whole lot of apps, but this was a no-brainer :)

Hope he keeps up the good work/constant updates!
[Desire Themes and Apps] DavieMarshall:
My first paid app purchase, but what a buy for the price. Just love the look of LauncherPro and, as good as HTC Sense is, it's just not a patch on the work this one man has done.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kmetek:
how did you got they key etc?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Elconrad:
+1 this launcher is awesome, so much faster and smoother the stock launcher and updated almost every other day, happy to support this dev
[Desire Themes and Apps] trucker11:
great bit of work

just paid for it 2 pounds well spent cheers
[Desire Themes and Apps] Noonski:
Big fan of LauncherPro, I was waiting for a Pro Paid Version.

Got it ASAP.
[Desire Themes and Apps] joe_998:
Any plans for a sense style email widget for launcher pro? IT's the only thing i miss since rooting my phone

Cheers,

Joe
[Desire Themes and Apps] wilbur-force:
is this uninstallable ? if i buy and fancy going back to sense will it have overwritten anything ?

Im fickle and like to swap and change stuff every so often :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Beppemi:
I love soo much this app, and i spent with pleasure my money for support the dev.

The launcher is soo fast and smooth.

I hope he release too much widget. ;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whojabacod:
Just curious what peoples takes were on the the current froyo Roms, differences seem minor, is it worth flashing around? Hows does this work as they are similar in nature without everyone being p.o.ed?

Umm just my two cents, but ya'll are telling him his thread should be in another section but a mod moved it to development... so it should stand to reason that the hostility is not needed. I'm still a noob here so I don't want to step on any toes. Personally I think this would give insight to the devs about what people think of their roms. I'm just saying

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
is there a way to port / recompile OpenOffice for Android?

There are a lot of good and great applications that are linux native out there.

I'm rather surprised we don't see more of those software like OpenOffice / FireFox / Thunderbird ported over for Android.

i was soooo looking forward to run those on my phone.

i know some groups are already working on a mobile version of firefox (Fennec), but there's no news about Thunderbird, and according to some stuff i read on the OpenOffice forum they don't seem very eager to port it to Android, as it took them a while to port it to MAC OS.

yet it's still a java based app... oh well... :(

at the moment i'm using "Docs To Go", not ideal, but it does for now, until OpenOffice comes aboard.

I've been using Docs To Go since my PalmOS days, is not bad, but is not great either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunwee:
docs to go seem to have worsen from palm to winmo to android. the android version is all flashy with smooth scrolling, pinch zoom etc but actual functionality is lacking. for eg; in the spreadsheet - editing is cumbersome, changing worksheets need few presses.

still looking for a good office suite/spreadsheet for android.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
A lot of software like that is not written to run on low-powered systems (which an android phone clearly is compared to todays PCs) and Android lacks a lot of functionality that is present in complete linux kernels and so rewriting would take a major effort and few people would benefit from an open-office port (and even if, they would be minor since nobody will actually do a lot of office work on their phone).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unfnknblvbl:
Unfortunately, Android is to Linux as Windows Mobile is to Windows 7. They're related, but not strictly intercompatible.

Android only really uses the Linux kernel. Practically none of the stuff that makes Linux recognisable as Linux to end-users. For Open Offic, Firefox etc to work as a simple port, you would need a whole bunch of extra stuff in Android that just isn't there. Of course, that's not stopping anyone from porting those things, but Android with X11, GTK and Gnome wouldn't really be Android anymore, would it?

Of course, I feel your pain.. I just want a simple text editor that can open and save .txt files, but I can't find one! Bah!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevo:
Linux IS only really the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
Still, in this context it clearly refers to any desktop linux distribution. And that comprising isn't far off.

BTW, I wouldnt use apps like these for large files (ie. Roms). They are better suited for small file sizes.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
Ya, I thought at first it was like wifi manager...but its not. I need something like that so I can send ROMs without data cable. I forget which one I tried before, maybe the one you first mentioned, but it wouldnt send ROMs. Just hang and file wouldnt get sent.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
Did anyone else read the article(s) on engadget?

And does anyone have said games?

Basically, there have been a few games ported over to android

(Raging Thunder 2, Homerun Battle 3D, Skies of Glory)

that can still play online with iPhone users? I think it'd be epic.

But seriously.

Skies of Glory is in the market for 5 bucks. Just bought it, trying it out.

Raging Thunder 2 is also 5 bucks, buying it as well.

Will not be buying homerun battle, but it is also $5

Has anyone actually played these games?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otto888:
Skies of Glory: Haven't bought yet,tried it on my friend's iTouch,its an ok game.

Raging Thunder 2: :\ As a racing game,its OK but Asphalt 5 is better.

Homerun Battle 3D: I suck at it. :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
I'm absolutely horrid at the both. Hopefully I'll get better. Haven't tried Asphalt 5...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusDro:
Do those games require precise multitouch control on the Nexus One?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
Not that I'm aware of.

Mainly, as far as I can tell, Raging Thunder is tilting the phone using the accelerometer, and maybe pressing a few places on the screen (brake and boost).

Same thing with Skies of Glory, only instead of brake and boost, it's shoot.

Which kernels have the perflock disabled? Right now I am using SetCPU to disable it, but I must re-do it everytime I restart the phone. Does Toasts new kernel have it disabled already?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
I believe all of the latest FPS fix kernels support OCing (cameras work also!) I'm using the netarchy-toastmod kernel and all you have to do is set your frequencies in SetCpu......or profiles if you want to use them. Just dont leave it OC'd in performance scaling. I've read that can really cut the lifespan of your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigupurself7:

Can anyone help.

I applied the PirateRum Rom from the list on the rom manager app. After installation it is stuck on the setup wizard. Everytime I try to sign in to my gmail or set up new account it says Wizard has crashed and forces close so i cant get into the phone. I have tried a factory reset and the problem persists. I have also tried to reflash several roms in recovery mode without sucess. I have got as far as receiving the same error message each time "E:signature verification failed". I have tried naming the file update and update.zip to no avail. Does anyone know how i can either:

1. Get passed the setup wizard on PirateRum Rom, or

2. Sucessfully flash a rom in recovery mode

Any assistance would be much appreciated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caillyn:
You havent bricked your desire, as you are still able to load a ROM, broken or not.

The term bricked means its now as dead as a brick. I.E wont even load the bootloader or any ROM.

If you are getting sig verification issues, then it sounds like you need a GoldCard, even if your desire is unlocked and unbranded.

At any point, you can always go back to your original RUU rom from HTC, though it will un-root your desire.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] miker71:
Ok, so here I am running around now with the JG5 firmware and rooted because why not.

Then my paranoid self asks what the root password is. I don't know. Perhaps not a big deal if the phone doesn't have any open ports. So I run a port scan. I find both ports 400 and 45415 are detected by the scanner, and it stalls on 65535 (making my paranoid self think there could be something fishy there too).

Whilst on private/home WiFi the open ports don't particularly bother me, although I've yet to do any packet sniffing. The router will block any incoming requests. Out on the carrier network though, who knows?

Anyway, does anybody know what the legitimate use of these ports is? What is the root password by default (per SamDroid) - maybe I should change it to be safe.

Nobody panic, but I think these thing require a little awareness if nothing else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagingaa:
From what I could find on http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers port 400 is used by Oracle Secure Backup. Port 1-1024 are so called well known ports, and should not be used by other applications.

osb-sd 400/tcp Oracle Secure Backup

osb-sd 400/udp Oracle Secure Backup

Port 65535 is the last possible port, and depending on how your portscanner works, it might be done checking all ports, but stalls on 65535 because the programmer hasn't taken into account that there are no ports above that number.

Also, very excellent and legitimate security concern, I hope some more experienced devs might be able to help you further, or correct me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ostendk:
use Nmap to portscan :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
You guys should change the root password, but don't know how it's done. In jailbbrok iphones, that's one of the first things people do or are advised to do after jailbreak.en
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hanzi54:
as an ex iJoke user I am also concerned about the userser & passwords of my rooted android.

When I open the terminal and enter "passwd" it says not found.

Portscan from 1 to 1024 shows no vulnerability, no time to check all up to 65k
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dseo80:
passwd binary is not included in most rooted kernels/root methods

im pretty sure the root password is blank...

but superuser.apk will prevent anything from a remote or local port (assuming its working correctly) from running with root permissions

unless you allow it.

I originally posted this in the wrong thread, but flickie doesn't seem to do it. First off, its primary focus seems to be finding new wallpapers (and not to browse images already on the sd card).. secondly, it uses the same 3d gallery thing as the 3d gallery thats included in cyanogen. Am I missing something?

EDIT: Ok.. I think i'm just on crack... everything is working as I want it to now... who knows. I usually screw up more than I care to admit :)

I do think the 3d gallery is neat, but I like simple usually. Its suddenly allowing me to just use a file manager to browse my photos and set as wallpaper... wasn't allowing me earlier.

On a side note, I think i'm gonna keep that flickie program installed. I do like being able to find some other neat wallpapers by category. So thanks for the recommendation
